This little desk clock features a pair of Ladybugs, you can play with them by moving their eggs and food (aphids). When you are not playing the aphids will move to different places and he will follow them. She mostly protects her eggs when he gets too close and she eats when the aphids get on the eggs. All in High Resolution for the Retina Display.
We appreciate your feedback! Please let us know if you would like future versions to continue with the Ladybug life cycle when the eggs hatch, Larva (not very cute, kinda like little alligators) and Pupa (where they change to adult Ladybugs).
Legends vary about how the Ladybug came to be named, but the most common (and enduring) is this: In Europe, during the Middle Ages, swarms of insects were destroying the crops. The farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help. Soon thereafter the Ladybugs came, devouring the plant-destroying pests and saving the crops! The farmers called these beautiful insects "The Beetles of Our Lady", and - over time - they eventually became popularly known as "Lady Beetles". The red wings were said to represent the Virgin's cloak and the black spots were symbolic of both her joys and her sorrows. (http://www.celticbug.com/Legends/Lore.html)
